Action Learning Set for leaders and managers
Yes, it is back and there are 6 places on offer for another Action Learning Set for CEOs and senior leaders from October to April.
What is it?
An Action Learning Set (ALS) is a structured format of peer support with a facilitator, taking place at regular intervals with the same people attending each time. The purpose of the ALS is to focus on work challenges and learn from the process. Members present and explore live work issues in turn with support from other members in a facilitated and safe environment. The emphasis is on action and reflection.
Each session is 2.5 hours in duration, in person. Set members are expected to attend every one of the seven sessions, i.e. the intro session and 6 monthly sets.
